Answer:

The other meaning of this title is the alienation experienced by the Americans in relation to interracial relationships.

Step-by-step explanation:

The book focuses on the alienation that the American people suffer from interracial relationships, which are often seen as strange, wrong and to be avoided. This limits the relationship between individuals and places them in a position of great inequality with each other in the midst of the approximation they establish between them. This was one of the first books to focus on the issue of race and the interaction between people of different races.
